quality meter/monitor. This cutting-edge power quality instrument is designed with a
color liquid crystal display (LCD) 1/4 VGA, using touch screen technology. It can
monitor, record and display data on four voltage channels and four current channels
simultaneously.
The 4400 is designed to meet both the IEEE 1159 and IEC 61000-4-30 Class A
standards for accuracy and measurement requirements. It can also monitor EN50160
compliance based on the EN (European) Standards. The statistical package called
Quality of Supply ( QOS) is built into t he 4400, with mon itori ng and se tup pr otocol s set
to determine voltage measurement compliance required for EN50160 monitoring.
European standard EN50160 requires that measurement parameters must be within a
specified percentage for 95% of the time.
4400 is a portable, hand-held, eight-channel power
4400 Firmware
This manual
The firmware for the 4400 is c ontained o n internal FLASH memory. It has an operating
system capable of performing multiple applications. When an updated version of the
firmware is released, the user can upgrade the internal program by putting the latest
4400 firmware program card in the appropriate slot of the mainframe. See page 1-10
for instructions on how to upgrade the 4400 firmware from a data card.
The 4400 firmware can monitor power quality phenomena for troubleshooting and/or
compliance purposes. It can record inrush conditions, carry out long-term statistical
studies to establish performance baselines, and perform field-based equipment testing
and evaluation for commissioning and maintenance. The firmware integrates an
intuitive instrument setup procedure to ensure the capture of all relevant data for
additional post process analysis, report writing, and data archiving using other
compatible Dranetz-BMI software applications such as NodeLink

Scope mode
Meter mode
Harmonics
All 4400 functions described below are operable using a color LCD touch screen
technology. Users may use a finger and/or a PDA stylus to apply pressure to the LCD
screen to result in touch screen recognition. The touch screen display is also workable
with lineman gloves on. Touch screen buttons will appear in reverse-video to show
visual feedback of contact along with audible feedback. In order to reduce power
consumption, the backlight of the LCD screen times-out after a specified
programmable time of no user activity. The backlight reactivates by touching any part
of the scre en.
Scope mode functions as an oscilloscope, displaying real-time waveforms of voltage
and current for up to eight channels simultaneously, with one second update rate. The
colors of waveform dis play are user pr ogrammable. Scope mode al so provi des a textual
display of rms values, division for axis values, and frequency.
Meter mode functions as a true rms voltmeter and a true rms clamp-on ammeter.
Voltage and current measurements, along with other calculated parameters, are
displayed on the Meter mode screens in both textual and graphical format.
Harmonics display the amplitude and phase of each harmonic to the 63rd harmonic in
both graphical and textual format.
Phasor diagram
Flicker
Event
The phasor screen displays a graph that indicates phase relations between voltage and
current based upon the angles at the fundamental frequency, as determined by Fourier
analysis. Phasor diagram displays voltage and current phasors for all channels.
Functioning as a phase angle meter, the unit can display system imbalance conditions
and provides such information in textual form also. The phase angle display can also
verify if monitoring connections have been made correctly. Animated phasor demo
rotations demonstrating resistive, inductive and capacitive loads can be displayed.
Flicker is a pheno menon due pri maril y to r apid s mall flu ctuat ions of the vol tage. Loads
that exhibit continuous, rapid variations in the load current, particularly the reactive
component, can cause voltage variations often referred to as flicker. Flicker is
characterized by modulation at a frequency typically less than 25 Hz. Modulating
signal magnitudes as low as 0.5% of the fund ament al for frequencies between 5-1 0 Hz
can result in perceptible light flicker.
An event occurs when a programmed threshold limit is crossed. An event consists of
the pre-trigger cycle(s), trigger cycle(s), and post-trigger cycle(s).

Trend
The 4400 can monitor the following power configurations:
• Single Phase • 3 Phase 2-Watt Meter Delta
• Split Phase • Generic
• 3 Phase Delta • 2 1/2 Element without V
• 3 Phase Wye • 2 1/2 Element without V
B
C
While monitoring any of the above configurations, the 4400 can also be connected to
monitor neutral to ground voltage and neutral or ground current.
Setup is a configuration of parameter thresholds that control the data recorded by the
4400. Users may perform instrument setup in three ways: via Automatic Setup which
utilizes auto-configured settings and allows users to proceed directly with data
monitoring; via Wizard Setup which follows a step-by-step sequence where users go
through a series of circuit setup screens; or via Advanced setup which allows users to
modify trigger para meters and int ervals o r tweak thres hold settin gs under the Adva nced
Options.
Users can generate plots for all journalled data combined with min/max recordings of
that parameter. Most journal parameters have multiple channels to plot.
Reports
Data Card
Users have two options on how to view QOS compliance reports.
EN50160 displays statistical reports on QOS compliance based on an analysis of the
voltage as per requirements of the EN50160 standard. Compliance data is presented in
bar charts , statistical tables, and graphs. Stat istical data is calculate d on the required
parameters specified in EN50160 over one week interval to produce a PASS/FAIL
decision of QOS compliance.
Status presents a report summary for Standard PQ, EN50160, and Motor Quality
parameters via the annuncia tor panel. The panel is color c oded such that gre en indicates
the parameter is within limits, yellow means it is moderately out of limits, red signifies
it is severely out of li mits. Unlike th e EN50160 which r eport s o n QOS compli ance on a
weekly basis, Status monitors compliance continuously. There is also the option to
view a parameter in more detail i.e. display its data plot, threshold values, or edit
parameter/channel settings.
4400 supports the use of Compact Flash data cards with AT LEAST 32MB storage
capacity. The user replaceable data card is used as primary storage for data. Data
monitoring CANNOT proceed without the data card. The 4400 is designed to
accommodate the Compact F las h card in its nativ e f or mat, and does not require the use
of a PC card adapter. However, a PC card adapter can be used to read the data into a
laptop or other computer with a PC card slot.
